This is a dream. I noticed that it was a scene without a sense of reality in an instant.
In the dream I faced the other me. It is me in the appearance of Deet, the figure of Johann, in the form of Shoji, one after another I change into the figure in the past of those I have walked as up to now.
『Hey, What is with the appearance。 With my knowledge and experience why was the skill so bad』
The me of the Dream, he is speaking in a tone of ridicule.
So annoying.
『What is so annoying。 Since it is inevitable I will tell you why. All of me have not been accepted by you. The brain, the body, and magical power are all poor。 At best, only the surface can be traced』
Ha. I understand. In reality I should be able to do much more.
In the past, one village had been pushed until it had become a powerful nation. I have destroyed many countries all alone. I became the Maou [TL:Demon King] and have destroyed the world.
There is no difficulty to protect the Elf Village if it were to be compared to it.
『Lucie, she closely resembles the girl who became the origin of my nature. To protect her I will lend a hand』
You are wrong, I Lucie is, it is not because she looks like that girl that I came to like her. I will live as Syril, I loved the time when we are together. Lucie is not a substitute.
『Fumu。 The me in this time, is it that particular about being oneself above all。 Oh well。 I have also seen it several times。 But, an Ordinary man。 If one has a dream thou can’t discern then, You will have no choice but to trust me』
I understand. The matter of the fact is that I am not a thing. I am the present me, but I also wont deny by past selves. But, Lucie is the only one I wont hand over.
『The I of now has understood。 I will, as it is said be devoted to supporting from behind the scenes until I stop being Syril someday。 ”Excluding one part” All of the knowledge and experiences are to be given。 The personality will not be touched。 But do not forget, the moment you give up being Syril, at that time, you also will fall into being a mere part of me』
How come you wont force me to do it?
『Probably there is not reason to do such a wasteful thing。 That which you hold naturally, emotions, drive, I have worn out all of those, it is something that has been lost。 The feelings that flow from you are my sole amusement』
Is that so? Then in exchange for the power, I will let you enjoy my life to the utmost.
I will show you the best happy ending.
『That would be splendid。 I have already gotten tired of tragedy。 This world is a special world for me。 Preferably that child whom I left behind……no, it would be nice。 Even now I yearn to have been able to save that child……』
My Voice became interrupted in the middle.
And the dream ends.

「Good Morning」
The heavy feeling of the body immediately before losing consciousness disappeared completely, and Maryoku has been enhanced.
The souls that were absorbed yesterday has completely become ours.
The soul alone being taken, it would be insignificant, even the souls did not become one’s power yesterday yet, while I slept it assimilated.
Yesterday, the number of soldiers that were cut down and killed were 64 people.
I have captured the souls of 64 people. Internal Maryoku《Odo》 max amount has jumped up approximately 11 times that of yesterday.
With this, Magical Power control ranked for a Superman as if from an ordinary man to a Superman. [TLN: 超人 or Choujin. chou being super, ultra, or transcend. jin meaning person. So he is an Ultra Ascended.] With this, What is possible for me to do has increased.
However, even if the total volume has increased the amount of Internal Magical Power《Odo》 that can be discharged at a time, the technique of magical control has not changed. This is a future problem.
「Nevertheless, what is with this comfortable feeling in this bed.」
A sweet smell drifts, and there is warmth in the hand.
The body has something of a feeling of being purified of negative ions.
「Syril, don’t play truant, a~tsu, useless, I’ll be angry if you do things so halfheartedly 」
Lucie’s sleep talking is heard.
The me in Lucie’s dream seems to be considerable good-for-nothing fellow, there is no help for it if I think about how I was so far.
After Lucie placed a blanket over me, she must have run out of energy while clenching my hand, and leaned against my body.
「Speaking of which we tended to sleep together in the old days.」
Because the of the snowy forest climate of the Elf village and very frigid nights, it was possible to sleep together with two people, often to endure the cold. It becomes considerably warm with the heat of two persons so the warmth will not escape the blanket. But Lucie refused to do so from around last year.
I wonder if she came to be aware of gender. Lucie’s body, even though I thought it had been that of a child’s recently, it is growing fairly well.
Brought up as siblings for five years, Although I see Lucie as a woman now, I had not seen her as one until now.
「I wonder if it is a little better」
The time limit to bring the food to the village is the 5th. Today even if I were to rest all day long there is sufficient time.
I still want to keep enjoying Lucie’s warmth, I drew Lucie who was leaning on top of the blanket into the blanket, and make her into a dakimakura[TL: huggable pillow].
「Wind, lend me your eyes」
In this way 【Chikaku Kakuchou】[TL: Perception Expansion] widened my awareness. Unlike yesterday, there was still spare magic and physical strength. Even while sleeping, it would be easy to leave a part of the consciousness and still be cautious of the surroundings. This is one of my most frequently used specialties.
